EDIT: wow. Not nearly as amazing as I expected. The quality came out much lower. I am disappointed.



Although, this one panned out pretty nicely!



OPINIONS ON MINE WOULD BE APPRECIATED!


Edit: here's an Inverted colour picture to show better


you think this guy is stealing work of others? or just has bad cropping skillz?

Yeah...the first picture looks a bit unprofessional in my opinion...I can't necessarily confirm that he's shopping someone else's work because that doesn't seem like him, but I will say that is it poorly done regardless of its origination.

The second piece of work doesn't seem to be in question. It looks well done.

That first image reminds me of this:

However, I don't think funmonkey would steal graphics... Would he?

I don't think you need a whole topic just to point out something everyone already knows.
[/joke] (I suppose it was mean of me to say it even as a joke, so I apologize for that. Was just hoping to amuse some people—no hateful intentions.)

Stolen or not, the obvious lines between the clouds and the black is very amateur and disappointing.
However, from the perspective of a graphic artist... Considering the crude mistake above, it is not likely he would have the ability to create the the first image from scratch. Even using brushes would take some complex layering, shadowing, and coloring. I may just be underestimating his abilities, but we'll see.
Whatever the case, I think funmonkey will be outraged at the assumptions the OP is making. We don't need more drama. Either that or he'll act all nice and try to humbly shame me for making this prediction.
And I don't think you needed to post this in the PSP Wallpaper thread and in its own topic. One or the other would have worked. Not posting it at all would have worked just as well.
Also to the OP: how much of the image that used to be in your signature (with the batman logo) was your work?

yeah, i dont really mean to assuse him of doing so, but then agian i guess i kinda did in the actual post :lol::lol: but, i checked out his actual photobucket account, with all his pics

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn317/funmonkey54

i couldn't find a consistent pattern to how, his digital art is created, as in no actual pattern to what he likes/enjoy's doing or is good at. Although some of it does look original, and i can't say i've ever seen it before, that image alone is very suspicious. He hasn't come online yet to yell at me for accusing him of copying others work, but i would sure like to hear what he has to say, to that one.

I completely agree it wasn't ment to actually be in question, nor the third image, they are both very nice and very well done...

Does it actually matter if he has edited someone else's work? More than likely wasn't copyrighted anyway.

more, or less its morals, and usually when you request for someone to make you something, you want it to be original

Valid point.

I think this is uncalled for now.
You should have PM'd and asked him, its not going to be very nice when he logs in and he finds a thread accusing him of shopping :(
That is like a kick in the pints

Threads like this make me wonder what this world's coming to.
If you had valid, undeniable evidence that fm54 stole the graphics he was using, then that's one thing, but you just have a little suspicion and you make a thread about it?! Not cool.

Ya, you are kind of on him hard with this and have no 100% proof he did. Make sure you have all you evidence before confirming him stealing others work.

its only a wallpaper who cares, and since you made a thread about it can you at least delete the post off my thread.

I doubt funmonkey54 would do such thing, but if he did, I don't care and I doubt a lot of people would care, too. So, w/e...
